CLERKSHIP DESCRIPTION The pediatric clerkship is a major component of a medical student’s pediatric educational experience during medical school. It shares with other core clerkships common goals in developing competent general physicians. For some students this intensive clinical experience is their primary opportunity to learn about the health and illness issues of children. Pediatrics is a unique application of human developmental biology. Thus, clinical pediatrics focuses on the impact of disease on the developing human. The pediatrician observes and treats the child within the context of the family, community, and society. Prevention of disease, in addition to its treatment, is an essential aspect of pediatrics. Pediatricians collaborate with other health professionals to meet these goals.

mailto:[email protected]


The clerkship curriculum provides all students with the basic skills and knowledge necessary to care for children and their families. The emphasis is upon an understanding of normal processes, such as growth and development, health assessment and maintenance, and common problems unique to children. In addition, the pediatric clerkship is an opportunity to introduce students to the intellectually and personally fulfilling aspects of pediatrics to foster interest in pediatrics as a career choice.

During the pediatric clerkship, students have contact with general and, at some sites, subspecialty pediatricians. The clerkship emphasizes those aspects of pediatrics to be mastered by all students so that they may become competent generalists. With limited time available in the core clerkship, basic skills and common issues in both health and disease will be the focus. The CMS Pediatric Clerkship is structured in a 6-week format. As pediatrics is becoming more and more an outpatient specialty, students at every clinical site will have an extensive outpatient experience. The time spent on the inpatient service varies from site to site, with some sites having as much as 50% of the rotation spent in the inpatient settings. Faculty strive to provide the student with a continuum of care, both inpatient and outpatient, since the unique aspects of pediatric care are best taught and learned under these conditions. Because students have different learning styles, the curriculum contains a variety of educational formats, each of which emphasizes active participation by the student. Students are evaluated by a thorough assessment of knowledge as well as skills and attitudes.

CLERKSHIP OBJECTIVES

The core objectives of the pediatric clerkship are for the student to: 1. Learn the importance of growth and development and its clinical application from

birth through adolescence (physical, physiologic, and psychosocial). 2. Understand the influence of family, community, and society on the child during

health and disease. 3. Develop strategies for disease and injury prevention and health promotion. 4. Develop clinical problem solving skills for pediatric care. 5. Develop the communication skills needed to care for children, adolescents and

their families. 6. Demonstrate competency in examining children and adolescents. 7. Demonstrate the knowledge necessary for the diagnosis and initial management

of common acute and chronic illnesses. 8. Develop attitudes appropriate for clinical practice.

EVALUATION, EXAMINATION, AND REMEDIATION POLICIES

• Students’ clinical performances are evaluated by their preceptor in each clinical setting. • Evaluations are compiled, summarized and completed then uploaded on one45 by the

Site Directors. • Evaluations are then reviewed and signed by the Clerkship Director before posting on

D2L. • Examinations: Final examinations are web-based National Board Medical Examination

(NBME) Shelf exams given at the end of the 6-week clerkship rotation.

See D2L for CMS Clerkship Grading Policy See D2L for Clinical Evaluation Standards See D2L for Teacher-Learner Expectations

CMS Clerkship Remediation Guidelines

• Reference the Required Patient Encounters document for specific patient type/clinical condition remediation guidelines. [Posted in D2L]

• Reference the CMS Clerkship Exam Failure Policy document for specific make-up/retake examination guidelines. [Posted in D2L]

• Reference the CMS Excused Absence Policy document for examination and other clinical experience remediation guidelines. [Posted in D2L]

In general, Clerkship Directors will determine how the student will make up patient encounters, clinical activities or other clerkship requirements. Clerkship Directors will determine if and when the student will be required to repeat the clerkship. Clerkship Directors will use case-by- case evaluation and coordinate with the Office of Student Affairs & Education. ATTENDANCE POLICY See D2L for Excused Absence Policy. Holiday Schedule: You must follow the holiday schedule for your site, not Chicago Medical School's schedule. Weather Emergencies: If the University is closed due to extreme weather, check with your clinical site regarding its status. Unless otherwise directed by your Site Director, you should go to your clinical site.

REQUIRED PATIENT ENCOUNTERS AND ALTERNATIVE LEARNING (see next page) If the student does not see a required patient encounter, a CLIPP case (see page 16) should be substituted in its place. A CLIPP case is available for patient encounters with the exception of “Behavior Disorder” and “Trauma.” If the student has not had a patient encounter in either of these two areas by the mid-term, he/she should bring it to the attention of the site director for a suitable alternative experience. Patient logs documenting the use of either CLIPP cases or other experiences should be listed under “alternative learning experience” on one45.

CLERKSHIP-SPECIFIC PERFORMANCES, PROJECTS, REQUIREMENTS: In addition to the required minimum patient encounters listed previously, the following are requirements of the clerkship.

Computer-assisted Learning in Pediatrics Program (CLIPP) Cases CLIPP's 32 interactive virtual patient cases are designed to encompass the learning objectives of the Council On Medical Student Education in Pediatrics (COMSEP) curriculum comprehensively. During the course of the clerkship, each student is required to complete any 12 cases. For the cases to be educationally meaningful, they should be done in a careful and thoughtful manner. Students who demonstrate poor level of engagement, recorded as “red” by the system will not receive credit for completion of the case. All cases must be completed by the end of the clerkship.

CLIPP cases are accessed at www.clippcases.org. Students must register with their Rosalind Franklin email address. Didactic teaching sessions Formal teaching sessions for the clerkship consist of four mandatory lectures that are given at one site. Three of these sessions are given with remote web conferencing; one lecture is in the format of interactive jeopardy for which all students are required to attend in person. One additional session is to be held at the CMS campus (pending budgetary approval) that will involve small group simulations and discussions. All of these sessions, including one review session, are an integral part of the clerkship. Attendance is mandatory; any missed sessions will require a make-up activity, to be determined by the clerkship director. History and Physical examinations (H&P)- observed and written Throughout the clerkship, students will be performing history-taking and physical examination under the supervision of the site preceptor(s). Each student is required to have a minimum of two (2) observed H&Ps with one prior to and one after the mid-term evaluation with the site director. A form is provided on D2L to help with this evaluation and should be placed in the dropbox on D2L prior to the end of the clerkship. In addition, two (2) written H&Ps must be submitted and reviewed with the site director, one prior to and one following the mid-term evaluation. These must be placed in the dropbox on D2L prior to the end of the clerkship. Evidence-based medicine presentation During the pediatrics rotation, each student is required to present one clinical case to the site director with a patient management plan that is based on a literature search for evidence to support the proposed diagnostic or treatment plan. The structure for the presentation may be variable with the focus of the activity being a careful literature search and thorough understanding of the materials presented. A form is available on D2L for the site director to use in evaluating this presentation (“Medical Student CPC Evaluation Form”). This completed form should be placed in the dropbox on D2L prior to the end of the clerkship.

http://www.clippcases.org/

Interprofessional Activity Throughout the pediatrics rotation, development of a professional relationship with other members of the healthcare team is encouraged. Specifically, during the rotation, each student is required to seek an opportunity to work with a different member of the healthcare team, e.g., child life specialist, nutritionist, or nurse, to identify how his/her role complements that of other professionals. Following this experience, the student will write a brief reflection statement about what he/she has learned about the different professional roles in the context of the pediatric case(s) in which they interacted. This written statement should be placed in the dropbox on D2L prior to the end of the clerkship.

OTHER CLERKSHIP INFORMATION Recognizing that accessibility to formal teaching is somewhat limited for certain sites during this clerkship, it is recommended that students should attend local lectures given at the main hospitals if geographically feasible, i.e., if a student is at a private office close to one of the Advocate Hospitals, he/she could attend the scheduled conferences and/or lectures given by the hospital faculty, barring any schedule conflicts with his/her own site director. Attendance is not required but is encouraged.
